Sounds like someone is trying to immanentize the eschaton.

If we’re going to be running minor celebrities for the Irish presidency, the only real choice is Blindboy Boatclub.

He’s taken many too many blows to the head. Listen to interviews with him early in his career and compare them to his interviews now. The level of brain damage he’s endured is pretty obvious.

The thing that’s going to stick with me forever about this conflict is the accounts from the doctors working in Gaza describing all the small children who died from a single rifle shot to the head or heart. I just can’t imagine what has to die inside of you before you can sit behind a rifle scope, specifically pick out a child, and then murder them for funsies.

The thing I’ve always loved about the Labor party is how they really set themselves apart from the Tories. I mean, it’s just night and day. Really makes you feel like things are going to change for the better. So inspiring.

Way before that, actually. When I was a kid in the 80s they were about the same size as grade A large chicken eggs. They were already noticably smaller by 2007. Don’t even get me started on Doritos.

Laws, international or otherwise, don’t mean shit unless someone with the power to enforce them is also willing to enforce them.

To quote a friend of mine who traveled to Australia recently, “I wouldn’t say Australia is the most racist country, but they are definitely the country that is the most comfortable with their racism.”

I was hoping it was going to be jaankenschnitzel.

Pyrophoric (adj) – Liable to ignite spontaneously on exposure to air.

Just in case you weren’t entirely sure what that word meant either.

Yup.

YouTube for fascists, basically.

I don’t want to sound like I’m defending Biden, but I don’t know why people find this surprising. I’ve only been paying attention to politics for about 30 years, but he’s been saying this loudly and proudly for as long as I can remember.

Maybe people are just now noticing because it suddenly matters more than it used to. It definitely hits different when Israel is actively attempting a genocide, and it feels to me to be in pretty fucking terrible taste to beat that particular drum right now, but people are acting like this just came out of left field. He has been absolutely consistent about calling himself a Zionist for decades. It really shouldn’t have come as a shock.

The last time I went to McDonald’s I got two regular hamburgers and a medium fry, no drink. It was almost $10 after tax, the fries were cold and I had to pull out of the drive-through and wait for it.

I didn’t eat McDonald’s a lot to begin with, but it’s just not worth it to eat there anymore. It was always crap food, but it was at least fast and cheap. Now that it’s crap, slow, and expensive, there’s absolutely no reason to go there. The entire time I was sitting in my car eating my sad little mostly-bun burgers and cold fries, I was looking at the Costco across the street thinking about how, for the same $10, I could have gotten a huge slice of pizza, a soda, two churros, and an entire rotisserie chicken.

Is this a shocking headline for people who weren’t alive when the Cold War was still going on? Because when I was a kid Russia making plans for nuclear retaliation was just a typical weekday.

Is it too late to bring back the lettuce?

Probably someone throwing rocks at something, and instead of the normal clack-clack sound of rocks hitting other rocks, one time it went bing. And once they found out that one rock can go bing they probably started checking every rock to see if it might go bing too, or possibly bong.

I would think word of something like that would spread pretty fast, too. Like could imagine being a neolithic cave dude visiting the next village to trade some jewelry-quality bear teeth or whatever, only to see a guy playing a pile of rocks like a xylophone from the Flintstones? You’d be telling everybody about that shit. It’s pretty trippy to watch now; It must have been mind-blowing back when it was first discovered. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took on some kind of magical significance. And once you knew it was a thing you’d probably have your head on a swivel for the rest of your life keeping an eye out for some magic bing-bong stones of your own.

I for real thought it was from the dad jokes sub. I was super relieved when I realized it was a link to a news story about an actual bear, and not that the punchline was supposed to be that the bear was black and stole something.

Row (pronounced like wow) is another word for argument or disagreement. It’s most commonly used in the UK. A “political row” just means politicians are bickering with each other.
